[PPR] Runningback and TE starter questions. Gurley, Forte, L. Murray, D. Robinson, C. West // Gates vs. Walker

Good afternoon gentleman. I have to choose two of these RBs for this weekend. Please help!

Really need some help this week as I have my studs going against tough matchups and then great matchups with second tier guys.

Forte - up against tough TB run defense - splitting time with Langford. Concerned about touches.

Gurley - up against SEA in Seattle. Almost ripped 2 TDs last week against that TB defense. Concerned they won't move the ball much / take him out for Cunningham when behind.

L. Murray - Play this guy tomorrow? Hasn't been involved in the passing game quite as much lately - but an extremely juicy option against SD at home.

C. West - Ware is back, splitting touches with him. Again, good matchup with Cleveland, although Cleveland has been playing better defensively.

D. Rob - comes down to Yeldon playing or not. Won't know by Thursday when Lat Murray plays.

Delanie Walker - how could you not start him? But it is a Houston defense that has been playing better - not sure what the new QB means to him. Games when Mariotta was out earlier in the year was 7-55 against ATL and then 6-62 against Houston.

Gates - looking healthier and very productive the past 2 weeks. Due for a TD and Rivers and the offense playing better. To me - looks like Gates should be the guy?

I really appreciate any help or insight. There is a lot on the line!

Tough call at RB, I think you have to stick with Forte here. As for the second spot, it is hard to sit Gurley, but Murray does have a really good match up. I think I would go with Forte and Gurley and stick to my guns, but Murray is definitely a consideration here from the rest of the RBs you have.

As for TE, I think I would go with Gates. With San Diego's offense banged up, Gates has really been their only consistent weapon in the past couple of weeks. I would rather go down with Gates than Walker with Mettenberger.

Thanks, Matt. AGH - this is a tough one indeed. How does one sit Gurley.
